Given that your lender is Lloyds your lawyer must follow the formal requirements outlined in Section 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Lloyds. The CML Handbook stipulates minimum conditions for solar panel roof-space leases, and property lawyers are required to report to Lloyds where a lease fails to satisfy these specifications. The provisions relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not restricted to Thornton Cleveleys.
